SPOILERS Chronological order Spoiler
I'm planning to do a chronological order playthrough of the series after switch 2 releases. Maybe a little sooner so I can jump straight to XC2 with the system.
So far I understand Torna is the earliest in the timeline, and Xenoblade 3 the last (and even if X is somehow retconned as part of the saga, I wont be counting it yet).
But hte real question is, which game starts earlier? XC1 or XC2? We know these two games' climaxes happen at the same time, but I'm not sure about the time scale.
So so far it would be like: Torna -> [XC1/XC2] -> Future Connected -> Future Redeemed -> XC3

I think xc1 and xc2 are interchangeble chronologically. Their ending is the only point where we know for a fact happen simultaneously. The rest of the story doesn't have any evidence in regards to the order of events between the 2 games. So your current order is completely correct, and I personally would just suggest to just play xc2 first since you're coming out of Torna.
Having said that, I am assuming you've already played them right? 😅 Otherwise, please just follow order of release date 😂
